Pretty clear it won't be communism. Someday that will be a sad chapter in human history

Communism is simply a revolt by the masses of poor in a country to overthrow and redistribute the wealth held by a ruling elite. It's pretty crappy if you are one of that small class of the wealthy. But what communism accomplishes, often in one generation, is to bring across the board education, health care, and new sets of job skills to those masses of poor.

I don't know if that's any sadder a chapter in human history than the preceding chapter of oppression, exploitation, and indifference to the poor.

It's hard for the average American to view communism without extreme prejudice because this country was founded and developed in such a unique manner.
